When the module is unloaded or a GPU is unbound from the module it is
possible for device private pages to be left mapped in currently running
processes. This leads to a kernel crash when the pages are either freed
or accessed from the CPU because the GPU and associated data structures
and callbacks have all been freed.

Fix this by migrating any mappings back to normal CPU memory prior to
freeing the GPU memory chunks and associated device private pages.

I assume the AMD driver might have a similar issue. However I can't see
where device private (or coherent) pages actually get unmapped/freed
during teardown as I couldn't find any relevant calls to
devm_memunmap(), memunmap(), devm_release_mem_region() or
release_mem_region(). So it appears that ZONE_DEVICE pages are not being
properly freed during module unload, unless I'm missing something?
I've got no idea, will poke Ben to see if they know the answer to this

I guess we're relying on devm to release the region. Isn't the whole point of using devm_request_free_mem_region that we don't have to remember to explicitly release it when the device gets destroyed? I believe we had an explicit free call at some point by mistake, and that caused a double-free during module unload. See this commit for reference:

drm/amdkfd: fix svm_migrate_fini warning
Device manager releases device-specific resources when a driver
disconnects from a device, devm_memunmap_pages and
devm_release_mem_region calls in svm_migrate_fini are redundant.
It causes below warning trace after patch "drm/amdgpu: Split
amdgpu_device_fini into early and late", so remove function
svm_migrate_fini.

Furthermore, I guess we are assuming that nobody is using the GPU when the module is unloaded. As long as any processes have /dev/kfd open, you won't be able to unload the module (except by force-unload). I suppose with ZONE_DEVICE memory, we can have references to device memory pages even when user mode has closed /dev/kfd. We do have a cleanup handler that runs in an MMU-free-notifier. In theory that should run after all the pages in the mm_struct have been freed. It releases all sorts of other device resources and needs the driver to still be there. I'm not sure if there is anything preventing a module unload before the free-notifier runs. I'll look into that.

Regards,
  Felix

You'll have to excuse me for a moment since this area of nouveau isn't one of
my strongpoints, but are we sure about this? IIRC __GFP_NOFAIL means infinite
retry, in the case of a GPU hotplug event I would assume we would rather just
stop trying to migrate things to the GPU and just drop the data instead of
hanging on infinite retries.
